how do you handle this?

If you had a birthday for your child and invited there friends from daycare or school (5 year olds) would you expect the parents to actually leave the child at the party? DD is 5 and she was invited to one of her daycare friends birthday party and really wants to go. I have no problem letting her go and taking her but I don't know the parents and do not feel comfortable leaving her there. Is it rude to take her and stay? Or do you think this is assumed at such a young age?

At five years old I would not leave my kid unattended at a party. Especially if I am not really familiar with the other child's parents.

No. Still too young IMO...

Unless it's someone close, the parents usually stay at that age. DS2 went to his best friend's party recently at a venue. They are in kindergarten and it was a dozen kids. The host's next door neighbor left. The boy's mom said I didn't have to stay if I had something to do, but I just hung around.
